I said that it's one of the most beautiful crafts I have made to date, so of course I also had to assemble her to prove the point. This is Princess Serenity in the style of the new Crystal anime they are making the remakes of. – Can’t wait for the new movies to come out in 2023 XD They better not keep me waiting!
The papercraft basically consists of a separate Serenity model and the column she sits on (that is optional, she can basically sit on any shelf or box really). So, I started by making the face and neck part first, and then the back of the head and left 1 piece out to close it at the end. Next, you assemble both hair tails together and glue them on the head – really fiddly precise work, so take your time with it. And close the head with the last remaining strip. *Pro-tip: When I glued the tails on the head, I also took a few wires and jammed them in, to extra reinforced the parts where the tail sticks on the head to make it sturdy and not falling off, just in case.
The hair is really the most complex part of the assembly, so I definitely recommend this papercraft for more advanced papercraft buyers, since the tails are so delicate.
Next, I assembled both arms with the puffy sleeves separately, so I could glue them on next. Then, make the part with the shoulders and glue the arms on there. – Again, for more experienced builders, because you have to work with the upside-down head and the tails hanging from the head (else you can’t glue the tails on correctly if you do the tails last, so these HAVE to go on first).
Once you have the upper torso, you can make your way in making the separate golden rings on her bussom and then glue those on. From there, you need to glue all the remaining parts of the dress and the fiddliest parts are done.
All that remains is to make the back-bow and the inner legs separately. Once each of them is done, simply glue them on the right place, the legs with the remaining flaps and put them at the right angle inside the dress, and the bow at the backside (which can also be a bit fiddly, since the bow is so big. Make sure it is bent the right way, as shown in the PDO, so you have space to glue in between the 2 hair tails and glue it on with a lot of glue and patience).
Princess Serenity is now done and you can also assemble the column so she can sit on it (no glue needed, but you can glue her on there if you want) or place her anywhere dangling from a shelf.
Very fiddly work, but soo, sooo rewarding, because she looks absolutely stunning and 100% figurin-esk – that’s why I fell in love with papercrafts in the first place. A real treat for any real Sailor Moon papercraft-enthusiasts out there.
The papercraft is premium and I already released the unfold template preview here:

I hope you like this gorgeous princess and her flowy dress and enjoy the new anime to come as well :D Enjoy and happy crafting~
